Your parents efforts, like many of the the good efforts to move humanity forward over many decades, have been thrown into the trash. The next generations of Americans will have soc…

May I add; the Democrats In Name Only(DINOs) of Manchin, Synema, and others? destroying the slight majorities Democrats seem to put together when ostensibly "in power"... They need…

Sarcasm, or not, I hate your correct assessment in so many ugly, broken people's perspectives.

The game we have now is you win by the most voters, might as well be the most voters to sit on a scale and weigh more, wins. It is Mob rule. A significant portion of the electorate…

Exactly; if you wish I replied below. That is exactly the point of staying in such organizations, especially if you wish to be on the edge, and especially if you wish to publish, y…

True, but it does depend on your field. I was fortunate/unfortunate to have my feet in both over the years, and could not afford either early on, when I truly needed access.

In the past I wouldn't go to IEEE for IT and CS, except maybe, possibly for the physical level; that's the ACMs bailiwick. I had the distinct fortunate/unfortunate to be an absolut…

Of course you do; and thats where a lot of the papers are locked up, behind IEEE/ACM/Science/Nature, other journals. I guess that's a huge reason to stay involved, if nothing more …

I'm truly interested in your thoughts... where would you discover truly hard problems? What do you feel would make you qualified to work on them, over, say someone else? enough to …

agreed with your points... as a user of the current ath9k wireless problems, code changes to address security issues completely broke the wireless - for over two kernel releases un…

US is over twice Canada's mortality per capita. Trump did a deadly job in handling Corona.

6th Grade US, early 70s. We made fake checkbooks, we were given an income, had a small school store to spend it, had to balance checking and savings accounts. Learned about S&P 500…

I use 1600 for main living, and 1200 in a nice "unfinished" poured wall walk out basement, with (insulated) concrete floor with no posts, as area for all storage, hobbies, crafts -…

There it is; they were "pushed" to vote for him. What do you say about someone who decides instead of incrementally fixing a problem with discipline and superior solutions and cons…

Michigan has Proposal A, which limits property tax rise to inflation (or something close), until sold when it reverts to the current valuation. IIRC, it is exactly to counter throw…

Agreed on the coherer, and on the motor-generator combos, but that seemed to be later than 1916? I understand that the coherers hated the broad spectrum of the spark-gap, so who kn…

Yes, A NOESY would be boring compared to the aesthetics! Long live Varian, Bruker, and Oxford mags!

At the least, they were very much first principle kind of thing, often a tour de force of electromagnetic and mechanical nightmares. Mainframe line printers or upright vacuum colum…

On page 89 in the book Marconi's remote controlled boat doesn't talk about the transmitter (that I saw), but used a coherer as a receiver detector, something like a primitive diode…

That is what I understand; lie implies intent, which is impossibly hard to do. IMO the media is trying to being courteous, even delicate, when it is and should be an all out brawl,…

Yeah! So lets pull from everyone basic, guaranteed health insurance, because every 1 in 68 persons should be able to generate a buck, somehow. And the other 27% of US population th…

I don't disagree, but where I saw it begin was approx. +25 years ago when business started demanding degrees for jobs that had previously had no requirement, and for career advance…

Education, educated IS work, and profitable, but apparently not the kind of preferred work. Just wondering aloud, how will Mr Trump satisfy the wealthy, wall street, and the fiscal…

Thanks you for the reply. Your rigid definition of GDP is only one of many models. GDP(I) and GDP are similar and should be exact but because of statistical and measurement defects…
